Today's Briefing

Florentino Pérez publicly announced a €150M offer for La Araña just days after his re-election as Real Madrid president. Atlético rejected it immediately and trolled them on social media, pointing to the €500M release clause. The club acknowledged a phone call happened but disputes the framing of a formal offer — either way, Julián is staying.

Juventus have tabled a €22M offer for Alexander Sorloth; Atlético want €40M. Wide gap, and the Norwegian has teased 'exciting news' ahead of the World Cup. Juventus are also reportedly dreaming of a double deal that includes Brahim Díaz — treat that part with skepticism until it develops.

Despite serious competition from Barcelona and the threat of Real Madrid entering the race, Atlético are prioritizing Bernardo Silva above all other midfield targets. The pitch: a leadership role he won't get at either of the other two giants.

Atlético have identified Marc Cucurella as their first-choice left-back target this summer, with Alejandro Grimaldo as the fallback. Cucurella wants to return to LaLiga and both Atleti and Barça have an advantage over other suitors. Price tag around €40M. Decision likely after the World Cup.

'Antoine Griezmann. Enamorado del Atleti' drops tomorrow on Movistar Plus — intimate footage from his last day as a rojiblanco player, shot by Atleti Studios. Required viewing for anyone who felt that farewell.

Official confirmation from the club: Rosa Otermín has signed a new contract with Atlético de Madrid Femenino through June 30, 2028.

Telefónica and Atlético's open innovation contest has a winner: Navilens, whose intelligent signage tech will improve accessibility at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano for fans with visual impairments. Selected from over 100 global applicants.

Club president Enrique Cerezo collected the distinction from the Madrid regional Ministry of Economy, recognizing Atlético's leadership, sustainability credentials and socioeconomic impact in the region.
